Serviced Offices in City Of London

Office space in the City of London is surrounded on all sides by glass-walled skyscrapers. From 30 St Mary Axe, known as ‘the Gherkin’, to the Leadenhall Building (‘the Cheesegrater’) and 20 Fenchurch Street (‘the Walkie-Talkie’), this area is home to many of the capital’s most famous landmarks.

The City – or ‘the Square Mile’ – is London’s major financial artery. Home to the Stock Exchange, as well as the legal and insurance professions, many large corporations, including Lloyds, Aviva and Prudential have made the City their base.

This location is also of significant historical importance, with St Paul’s Cathedral, the Royal Exchange and the Customs House based here. Many of our serviced offices in the City of London count these businesses and buildings among their neighbours.

Professionals looking for offices to rent in the City of London are spoiled for choice, with every option from large and impressive co-working space to cute, quirky private offices available, and office space for one desk to one hundred.

The City is home to Liverpool Street (Essex, East Anglia and the Stansted Express), Fenchurch Street and Cannon Street stations, making your commute to the office as fast as possible.

Liverpool Street and Bank, two of London’s largest and busiest tube stations, are also located here and offer access to the Central, Northern and Waterloo & City lines. This makes the City one of the capital’s best-connected locations overall. Interestingly, a recent survey showed that 48% of workers actually commute to their office space in Shoreditch on foot!

Often, the area is just called The City and can be considered the main business district in London. The local authority for the area is the City of London Corporation, a very unique organisation in London and in the UK. It is run by the Lord Mayor of the City of London, a different and much older title than that of the Mayor of London.

If you work in law, offices to rent in the City of London are definitely for you. Many prestigious law firms call the north and east of the City home, meaning you will be in excellent company. The rest of the bulk of businesses in the area are made up from the financial sector and related sectors.

The Royal Exchange was founded in 1565 as a centre of commerce for London merchants. It is no longer functioning with its intended use, but it remains the geographical epicentre for the business and trade companies operating in the area.

London is a hotbed for the foreign exchange market and much of the action happens in the City of London. Just under $4 trillion exchanges hands every day and a third of that wealth passes through the London exchange.

Due to the fact that office space in City of London makes up almost all of the land use, the weekends can be quiet meaning that many bars and restaurants are closed on the weekends. However, this is changing as more and more residential properties become available.
